- The Wisconsin Supreme Court entered a temporary injunction that allows K-12 schools in Dane County to fully open for in-person instruction. The Court has issued a briefing schedule and will be scheduling oral arguments to hear the case. We are disappointed in this decision and strongly urge all schools to continue voluntary phasing-in of classes for in-person instruction for grades 3-12 per Public Health Madison & Dane County recommendations.

No change
Note: This order does have changes related to sports. An exception to sports as outlined above is gym/phy ed class, that is part of the typical school day and for educational credit. Gym/phy ed class does not need to follow mass gathering limits because gym/phy ed class is considered educational instruction and due to the school injunction is allowable. However, gym/phy ed classes need to follow other aspects of the school requirements.
